All I can do is put my head down, close my mouth and nostrils, and cross my fingers they won't fly in my eyes. They do, of course. Even with sunglasses on, they swoop in and peg me in the eyeballs, and even with the above mentioned combat measures, I still end up swallowing a bunch and having several shoot up my nose.
But the worst is how they stick to the rivers of sweat, so that when I wipe my face as I run, I always have little bug bodies on my finger tips.
I know. I should write FL travel brochures, shouldn't I?

Ha, I used to live in Taiwan and we would get those little gnats. Once after a bike ride there was a perfect one inch stripe of dead gnats along my shin bone, stuck there with my sweat. It was so gross.
I have NO bug tolerance and would probably give up in those conditions. You are hard core.
Yay! The annual gross bugs post! It's officially running season now. Cheers!
Yet another reason I don't run! :)
